Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Knowing that this has the potential, if looked at in the right way for employing many people, training many people in the Northwest Territories in a time when many regions, and especially the Inuvik region, is looking for employment and looking for any activity to try and counteract all the reductions that the area has faced; with this new initiative, is the department looking at different approaches than in the past? Because in the past we saw these grand plans that cost, for example, the Mackenzie Valley Highway, I believe the last plan I looked at priced it out at $700 to $800 million. We know that once we look at those figures it is prohibitive just looking at the numbers. So, in this new initiative are we looking at some different approaches and alternative ways of doing these programs and maybe doing them in smaller pieces so that it is something we can look at and can say they are achievable? Thank you.
